“Hailing from the frozen flatlands of Minnesota and following in the footsteps of a select handful of heavies before him, Joe Sexton now finds himself on the front lines and marching in tune with those very footsteps. His pants have tightened up a bit, and along with that so has his shredding. Joe made strides this year and landed a lunker of a video part-the opener in the highly anticipated Stepchild/Nomis video, Child Support-it’s a banger for sure, and a breath of fresh air. His precision, finesse, and creativity on a snowboard are matched by few; his flair for style and awesome attitude is matched by none. But more than anything, he makes snowboarding look like partying, and that’s the ticket”. -E.L.
